The forward-backward asymmetry $A_{FB}^{t\bar t}$ in top quark production at the Tevatron has been observed to be anomalously large by both CDF and D0. It has been suggested that a model with a $W'$ coupling to $td$ and $ub$ might explain…

We study the angular correlation and the amount of top quark polarization in the production of a higgs boson in association with a single top quark in the $t-$channel at the LHC. We also study the effect of anomalous $Wtb$ couplings on the…
We study the sensitivity of certain observables to the anomalous right tensorial coupling in single top production at the LHC at $\sqrt{s}=13 \text{ TeV}$. The observables consist of asymmetries constructed from the energy and angles of the…
In the standard model, for the t --> W b decay mode, the relative phase is 0-degrees between the dominant A(0,-1/2) and A(-1, -1/2) helicity amplitudes. However, in the case of an additional large t_R --> b_L chiral weak-transition moment,…
Measurements of distributions associated with the pair production of top quarks at the LHC can be used to constrain (or observe) the anomalous chromomagnetic dipole moment($\kappa$) of the top. For example, using either the $t\bar t$…
